Technology Overview and Strategy
Broadband Energy’s Connector technology interfaces with existing utility equipment and end-user products to enhance their functionality and extend their markets. Broadband Energy’s objective is to leverage its technology and enter into strategic marketing partnerships with a number of these OEMs and service providers.
Broadband Energy’s technology delivers key information about systems and conditions quickly and easily in a facility, home or elsewhere, along with an ability to act on that information – at any time, from any location – with action securely initiated by the authorized user, or automatically.
The Company’s products and systems supply the networking, information infrastructure and programming to enable both end-users and providers to optimize the use of essential services, and to access and apply that information whenever and wherever is most convenient.
Broadband Energy’s products, systems and software are designed as standards-based, modular, extensible and self-configuring, to accommodate the growing needs of customers in various markets and applications. This modular approach enables the Company to define entry level systems to manage critical information and services, while providing a base platform for future expansion.
Broadband Energy’s technology combines Internet-enabled remote telemetry, data collection, communications, interoperability and control. Intelligent products are linked with a powerful and secure head-end to enable the delivery of real-time interactive monitoring, automation and emergency services over a variety of wired and wireless networks. Users make simple decisions and set goals, and Broadband Energy automates the future operation of the system to achieve the user’s objectives. Users can modify or override the system at any time.
Broadband Energy’s technology has been field-proven in the largest energy management projects in the U.S. and Europe since the mid-1990s. These include:
- Internet telemetry gateway with communications features, local processing and security
- Energy management systems, software and energy operating algorithms
- Programmable lighting and automation controls
- Building controls and communications systems
- Proprietary user-interface designs for commercial/residential use
- Communicating thermostats and controllers
- Integrated System products
The Company leverages core competencies in remote monitoring, energy automation, interactive control networking and Internet information to create technology to easily and inexpensively measure, manage and modify operating conditions and resource consumption at end-user locations.
Five issued and applied-for patents support the Company’s proprietary technology platform.
